Go East via St. Louis
Now that Texas has direct rail com-muidcation
with the whole country,
travelers should remember that the
Pioneer Lines of the West afford the
best and only routvs through the Indi-an
Natiou to St. Louis and all princi-pal
cities in the Northern, Eastern and
Middle States. Passengers from Gal-yes
ton, Houston, Austin, Waco, Bryan,
ltd las, Marshall, Jefferson and all oth-cities
and towns on the Houston and
Texas Central Railway, and its connec-ting
rail and stage lines, are offered the
choice of two all rail routes to St.
Louis.
At Denison, Texas, connection is
made with the Missouri, Kansas and
Texas Railway, and at Viliita, in the
Nation, a connection is formed with
tiie Atlantic and Pacific Railroad, by
which all passengers are carried
through Southwest Missouri direct to
St. Louis, without change of cars. Or,
if the passenger so desires, he can,
when purchasing his through ticket,
arrange to continue his journey
through Vinita to St. Louis by way of
Sedalia and the Missouri Pacific Rail-road.
Both of these roads being under
one management, equal facilities are
offered in the matter of palatial sleep-ing
cars, elegant day coaches, quick
time and superior accommodations ot
every kind. The trains of these com-panics
arrive at St. Louis in ample
time to make connection with all roads
leading out of the city. Particu ar in-formation
with tnasd, time tables, etc.,
can be had at the various through tick-et
offices in Texas, or by addressing
John Howard, Texas Passenger agent,
Houston, Texas, or E. A. Ford, Gen-eral
Passenger Agent, st. Louis. Mo.
Missouri. Kansas & Texas Rail-way.
The pioneer line to Texas, having
completed their great iron bridge over
the Missouri river, at Booneville, are
enabled to offer still better facilitiesfos
travel to the great Northeast.
By special arrangement, Pullman’:
palace sleeping cars will be run be-tween
Houston, Hempstead, Hearnc,
Dallas and points on the line ot the
Texas Central railroad, to Chicago and
St. Louis, without change, and only
one change of cars to New York and
the principal commercial cities of the
North and East.
This line passes through a delightful
country; and. having been completed
over a year, has a smooth track, a well
settled road-bed, and are enabled to
make quick time with safety.
All passenger trains are fully equip-ped
with Miller’s patent coupler and
Westingbouse air brake.
Our advice to the traveler from Tex-a-
s is, to travel via the M. & T,,

physicians appointed by
the county court to the Board of

Association. The homeopathics
are not reconized by that associa-tion.
The court has granted an
injunction against the allopathic
physicians excluding the homeo-pathic,
and both sidos have pro-cured
counsol to test the validity
of the State law.

ble that none of parties will endeavor
to evade or resent the arrest. The par-ties
interested have consulted several
leading attorneys who advise them
that their pledge is not in violation of
the enforcement act, in that, it does not
threaten any one on account of race,
color or previous condition of servi-tude,
and that a general declaration to
employ no one upon certain condition
furnishes no grounds for specific
charge of intimidating any certain per-sous.
Immediately after the authori-tative
announcement, of Gen. Morrill
and Judge Levisee, this p. m., the
pledge was again put in circulation and
received one hundred and eighty addi-tional
signatures. These names include
representatives ol nearly every business
establishment in the city.
Copies of the pledge were also sent
to the country, and are said to have re-ceived
signatures from planters in all

with the whole country,
travelers should remember that the
Pioneer Lines of the West afford the
best and only routvs through the Indi-an
Natiou to St. Louis and all princi-pal
cities in the Northern, Eastern and
Middle States. Passengers from Gal-yes
ton, Houston, Austin, Waco, Bryan,
ltd las, Marshall, Jefferson and all oth-cities
and towns on the Houston and
Texas Central Railway, and its connec-ting
rail and stage lines, are offered the
choice of two all rail routes to St.
Louis.
At Denison, Texas, connection is
made with the Missouri, Kansas and
Texas Railway, and at Viliita, in the
Nation, a connection is formed with
tiie Atlantic and Pacific Railroad, by
which all passengers are carried
through Southwest Missouri direct to
St. Louis, without change of cars. Or,
if the passenger so desires, he can,
when purchasing his through ticket,
arrange to continue his journey
through Vinita to St. Louis by way of
Sedalia and the Missouri Pacific Rail-road.
Both of these roads being under
one management, equal facilities are
offered in the matter of palatial sleep-ing
cars, elegant day coaches, quick
time and superior accommodations ot
every kind. The trains of these com-panics
arrive at St. Louis in ample
time to make connection with all roads
leading out of the city. Particu ar in-formation
